I agree with the others. Those are signs of bad software dev, not SPAs in particular.

It's relatively easy now to break up the 7MB bundle into chunks and load on demand. So you get the benefit of both the fast, small initial load while other stuff loads in the background.

Then I'm not sure what you're referring to on links and waiting for single interactions...

With SPAs it's actually easier with the History API to create deeply nested stateful apps via the url / links. The confirmation modal, maybe your backend API sucks? Idk what your talking about with a 6s delay.

On top of that, a pure SPA means you have a static website, which means you can host the whole app off something like S3. We save so much money by hosting our stuff statically.
see, it's the "infinitely more robust" part which is still lacking here.
Offhand, I wonder what the ramifications would be if a Supreme Court would be able to rule that the legislative branch resolve an apparent contradiction in laws.

I wonder, does Google also run IT grads through an algorithms interview?
It's quite different in games where what you want to sync to users is just the global state of everything at a hard-defined frequency (10, 20hz, whatever), with well-defined heuristics like planar distance from a character. That's not what you want or what you get in web apps.

Actually it is not intentional. We do not have any connection to Lua. The name "Luna" was used from the beginning of the project, people started recognizing us with it and we simply love this name so it stayed with us.

If such confusion would be often, we will change the name, however, we've got few comments that this name could be confusing but in fact nobody ever confused it.

We are still open to change it and are actively looking for any kind of replacement. If you have any idea of a name that would be suitable for such a language, I would be more than interested in hearing it.

Moreover, I just opened a thread on our forum to discuss names propositions. If you've got any ideas, please share them with us! :)

> Your lawyer should advise you but ultimately follow your instructions.

... or resign.

There are lots of instances in professional services where you simply have to say 'no'. If you're not willing or able to represent your client in the way they want to be represented, the correct response is, "I'm sorry, but I'll be unable to continue to advise and represent you on this matter."

In the doctor example above, the doctor will—and should—absolutely refuse to follow your instructions to cut off your arm. (If you are insistent, you can probably find someone in the body modification community to do it for you, though a) it's probably illegal for them to do so and b) don't confuse that with legitimate medical intervention.)

That doesn't happen with sidewalks because the vast majority of people have at least a tiny bit of politeness and will make way for someone trying to get through. For the extremely rare people who wouldn't, I assume that the police would stop by and get the person to move out of the way, just as they would if people were intentionally obstructing a sidewalk.
The evolution of the trackball
We can't and don't have to give up text.

Text is essential for humans and could be a significant part of the interface (both reading and typing).

The problem is more about the underlying unit being text.

The problematic part of text is when we just write it freely and then have to parse it back and make sense of it which has very severe consequences.

This is because in the programming environment world we are forever stuck with a "text editor" mindset.

This means we shift the complexity away from the environment and pass it on to the compiler and the programmer which is not a good place for it to be.

So you can use "nano" to write very complex programs. Some people consider that a benefit, and in one way it is. However it is also simultaneously very problematic. Because it perfectly demonstrates just how far removed the authoring tool is from the problem domain.

The way I see it is that to unlock a new generation of software development experiences there's no way but to accept that we can't forever confine the act of programming to the primitive act of writing text like a book in a text editor.

The environment needs to be much more closely connected to the problem domain so that it can further empower you to do stuff.

There are no currencies currently capable of scaling, and practically all are riding the huge research wave that's there because of Bitcoin.

Yes, Bitcoin is still early stage tech and these valuations are a bubble, but it's probably going to be the technology to win in the end.
Even scarier: a bot that can make the diagnosis and could carry out the treatment itself, but is required by law to seek approval from a human of equivalent expertise.

Let that happen, and eventually you get a situation where the human disagrees with a bot and the human does something different. The patient suffers or dies as a result of the bot’s decision being ignored.

That’s when we start to lose our autonomy.
The article had me confused until I realized this was 2013. Even then it is out of date.

Muli-Page applications have had business logic on the client-side for years as a technique to reduce the feeling of latency since at least 2005.

If by "Traditional" web apps you mean web apps from the mid to late 90's, sure it was done entirely with POST and no business logic at all client side.

At the very least data validation has been being done client side for s long as Javascript has existed. (and also server side as a second level of checks if you care about data integrity and security)

SPAs did not appear overnight. They are a logic evolution of what has been happening for years.

> People say this every time there has been some volatility in BC.

Kind of like how people are pretending this is like when Bitcoin first hit $1,000 and then fell back to $200x. It's just the same thing, right? It's all just volatility.

Except, that didn't involve a third of a trillion dollars of on-paper wealth being vaporized in a week across all cryptos, with tens of millions of new speculators getting smashed around the world. Slightly different than if $10 or $12 billion similarly goes missing, contained to a tiny group of people who mined it or purchased it at extremely low cost.
I'm not arguing what the global problem is. Condition of the donated clothing is not referenced anywhere in the article.

Meltdown and Spectre: Exploits and Mitigation Strategies: Part 2
Does anyone remember the movie "The Internship", in which all of interns were IT Support? It's really funny that that they portrayed them as IT Support.
After stating their hypothesis the authors disclaim the issues CNNs with the following:

... we feel the need to
stress that it is not fair to compare the generalization performance
of CNN to a human being. In contrast to a
CNN, a human being is exposed to an incredibly diverse
range of lighting conditions, viewpoint variations, occlusions,
among a myriad of other factors.

Why is it that evolutionary heritage is so rarely stated as an important factor in these comparisons (as far as I have seen)? I appreciate that evolution can be framed as another form of learning, but it is much more powerful than that employed by standard CNNs, in that it can change the network structure (and the I/O interface) as well as the network weights.

It would benefit both worlds - you start with something working and well designed and if you improve it in any way, we would be happy to have your contributions :)

Regarding business model - everything is free. We will provide some paid hosting solutions in the future / paid libraries for very specific domain use cases.
The pros and use cases are all theoretical though. With nothing to stabilize the price it will continue to fluctuate wildly.

From the examples you provided: if that man deposited his savings into Bitcoin last week, and had to withdraw today, he would be at an enormous loss. Not everyone is in a position to 'hodl'.

If Venezuelans deposit their weekly paycheck into Bitcoin, but have no way of spending it on tangible goods - they still need to convert back into their domestic currency. The only thing that changes is now they pay transaction fees.

Yes - the technology can solve some issues. But not how it is currently implemented.
Ageism, plain and simple. According to silicon valley people are expected to be clueless at 20 and senile at 40.
Lightning network is a superb solution for that scaling.

Still, the whole thing is a huge research project. There's no simple and clear solution in sight. Bitcoin isn't just an engineering project.
...but much easier and maintainable than a "server-side" webapp that is a mess of jQuery, etc layered on top to make the experience "interactive". Not to mention the ease of unit testing user interface code in SPA.
The guilt doesn't matter in a sense. For example, if the client tells the lawyer he robbed the bank, the lawyer cannot try to persuade the court that the client was somewhere else because he knows it isn't true.
You can still seize Bitcoins with a court order.

There is a difference between currencies and stores of value -- its viability as the former is weak at best but it is formidable in the latter.

Now, that said, its worth as a speculative investment vehicle is proven. Low cost to acquire, low cost to sell, abundant, minimally appreciates in value over an 18-month period (much less a quarter-century), resistant to tampering (setting aside external price manipulation), high popularity -- few other speculative investment vehicles outside of the finance industry have had such success.

Granted, its staying power is an unknown and whether it will be around when it reaches its 25-year age is something else to consider.

That has nothing to do with the current crash. The price has been going up for a long while even when everyone knew about this.

Also this "nobody accepts BTC anymore" phenomenon is something artificially caused by the BTC devs. They could have increased the block size even to just twice the size and tried to figure out the real solution in the meantime, but instead they decided to be stubborn and kick out everyone who disagreed with them.

This is not a "proof" that the Bitcoin model itself has failed. It's just that one implementation has failed, and that's fine.
You're right. It works because there's no protection against trying to send the drive head past where it's meant to be able to go, because nobody expected anyone would try to repeatedly ask it to move out of bounds, and the vibration can easily get the head out of alignment.
So after introducing a new currency, how long is the window for people to begin accepting it before its "proved unnecessary"?
> Cyprus citizens who had their deposits confiscated in 2013 by their banks emphatically disagree with you.

The same could happen to Coinbase etc. Sure, you can store it yourself in a wallet, just as Cyprus citizens could put money under their mattresses.

> A man who was moving across states carrying his savings in cash and who had everything confiscated by police under civil forfeiture law emphatically disagree with you.

If he'd had the same amount in Bitcoin on a hardware wallet, there's a decent chance they'd have taken that as well. Hell, they managed to get DPR's coins and sell them for nearly $50M.

> Venezuelans who see the value of their currency evaporate and inflate 4000% yearly because of incompetence from their central bank emphatically disagree with you.

Bitcoin lost half its value this month...
> Sure, but we're talking about developing, and that's a pretty easy way to get started.

> My point is that needing a shared host to get started is actually a step you often don't have to wait for now. If you're a developer, it's easier to just start up your dev locally and work out hosting in a bit.

I have to disagree. It's silly to try to develop something you can't actually run. Getting your software in front of actual users is the critical path; everything else is secondary. (And exposing your dev laptop as a web host on the internet is pretty complex in practice for most people, quite aside from whether it's a good idea)

> For anything that's super quick and dirty, you still have CGI.

Do any of the frameworks you listed (Gunicorn or Mojolicious or Rails or...) support running as CGI? Is it documented in their tutorials?
I live in a kind of trendy area (compared to some other places in the Midwest) and honestly this is the worst trend in resale. There are tons of resale shops near me that will sell a "naked" 1980s vintage coffee table (complete with coffee stains) for $299... if you get there the same day they take possession of the item. Because when the shop closes for the night they apply a layer of chalk paint (then wipe some of it off to make it look aged, of course) and now the price is $499.

It's one of the most amazing rackets I've ever come across, taking $20 items from a yard sale, applying $25 worth of paint and lacquer, and selling it for $500.

It's not on the roadmap because I have zero experience in Rust. I'd be very happy to see the community make a Rust generator and could provide guidance on getting the protocol side right, but I wouldn't be able to tell whether the generated client was idiomatic - which is really important.

An alternative point of view is that no society, tribe or nation is perfect, and on the other hand there are plenty of great things about the history and culture of either place that are worth preserving. As an immigrant, it's my privilege and opportunity to adopt the best ideas/habits of both my origin country and my chosen one, and to spread the good things in each of the places that's not (yet) sufficiently aware of the possible alternatives.

Displaying pride for one's roots is by no means an indication that one would reject the values of one's new home. Cross-pollination of ideas is what makes progress happen. That applies just as much to someone moving from California to New Jersey as it applies to immigration. Personally, I think a full-on "leave behind your old self" approach doesn't yield the most benefits for either the individual or society as a whole, unless your origin country is indeed an unequivocal shithole.
