Not that I necessarily disagree, but one counter argument would be "why even use the pipe method? You could just say

square(increment(square(2)))

and get the same result, right?"

The point is readability. It's UX for the programmer, reducing cognitive load in understanding what's going on. Pipes are fantastic in the terminal and have never been replaced there because they are very simple glue piecing together the complex bits with a simple-to-understand model.

If we can have that in JS, I'd be quite pleased even if there are other ways to do the same thing.
I found Stoicism to be helpful in such events and a good philosophy in general. For this particular application you have to accept That there are external events you can’t control but there are certain things you can do to improve the situation.
So instead of focusing on the external and getting all stressed
About it you think about what the best course of action is you can take to help the situation.

Sorry for my rambling I am just starting to learn the concepts myself from this book: A Guide to the good life
Cord wrapped around the neck is quite common actually, the occurence is about 1 in 3 babies. It’s normally nothing to be concerned about, as blood flow is not hindered, even if it’s wrapped around twice. This would be no reason to not give birth at home.

Misconceptions or fears like this make people totally dependent on hospitals, which is IMO a shame - it hinders making a well informed decision (weigh actual risks vs benefits).
The main thing I picked up from the interview was the level of precision Peterson uses in thinking and discussing things - which I'd expect from a university professor. I might disagree with him on a few things, but I prefer to deal with such people.

The interviewer, however, was barely coherent and couldn't deal with that level of precision. And she kept bouncing all over the place. She was totally unprepared and kept flipping to tangents and not drilling down into one topic...

So to proclaim her as the typical embodiment of 'feminism' and use this as 'the perfect example' of why feminism (or whatever you want to project onto this) is fundamentally garbage... really only reveals your prejudices. At a surface level, the quality of the discussion or conversation was poor, so this video clip really is of low informational value.

I had a conservative friend who did this sort of thing - I'd try to get into the details of examining something (to try and get at the limits of a position or what caveats there are) and he'd do the same BS as the interviewer (though not as badly), oversimplifying things and deriving blanket principles from contrived examples. I guess that is the difference between philosophers and ideologues.

So I don't talk to him anymore - I got tired of the hassle and I'm tired of listening to how feminism is destroying society. It isn't. Society is morphing and change always upsets conservatives, because they are so fundamentally terrified of everything they can't control. Given how things are really going to go out of whack in the next few decades due to all the unstoppable changes coming, they are going to have to keep up or go extinct.

The Critique of Pure Reason is such a baffling book; it feels half finished manuscript, complete in thought but lacking polish. It’s harder to grasp what pulled the author in, but maybe it was just the above.
I’m betting when they added monthly prices their plan all along was to push people to pay yearly as it’s cheaper. But the price difference must’ve not been enough. Now it is pretty significant so it’ll probably do the job they originally wanted from it. Obviously that’s not the only reason for them adding monthly. Just one reason in my opinion.

I know. It doesn't work well enough. If Google focussed on this I think gRPC would gain massive ground. But issues are left open for months without any response, etc.

We've had to drop gRPC as a direct result of this.
> Are you Icelandic

No, and I guess I should not comment based on a shallow understanding, as I clearly got some things wrong. The upside is that the replies like yours are informative and factual.
> It should be easy to go from grpc->swagger to generate REST client libs.

I theory yes, but would you want to? In my experience I've found that building REST services is very different than building a GRPC service. The contract between the client and server are totally different.

> gRPC is no use for a large number of use cases. Shame really since it has promise but still seems half-baked.

gRPC is half-baked? You realize that the a large portion of the google backend is built on top of gRPC. Its an extremely well tested tool.

Sadly it’s the future, now electron apps are mainstream. Im not sure what they are doing with all their billions
This is a huge problem. The limiting factor appears to be the number of residency spots, not the number of accepted medical school students.
We should take some of the billions our Federal government spends and increase the number of residency spots and increase funding for tuition reimbursement for practicing in underserved areas.
these links have an onclick handler.

If the handler goes missing or fails, this construct will prevent the link from doing what it usually would.

But using a button is better in such cases...
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Back then, you'd use it with the `href` attribute to prevent the link from going anywhere (it would return `undefined`), then call a function with the `onclick` attribute.

E.g.

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="clickHandler()">Click me</a>
It won’t stay that way. But yeah that’s surprising it’s still so cheap in Italy. Perhaps they haven’t cornered the market yet or have enough customers.
Yea i always found this funny. I was not allowed to move a monitor in the office, but was racking 4u servers by myself in the datacenter. When i asked they claimed it was because the insurance for the monitor, not me, would not be covered if it was not the local IT guy who moved it.

I'd want to because grpc doesn't support javascript on the web. REST is the defacto standard.

I am aware Google use gRPC in their SDKs and backends, none of which are JS web.

So yes, I want to build microservices with gRPC but expose them with REST for legacy/external clients.

FWITW I found a python library moviepy a lot easier to work with (although sometimes you still have to drop down to ffmpeg as it won't do everything ffmpeg can do).

Moviepy is basically an easy to use wrapper around ffmpeg and some other utilities like ImageMagick. Not as full featured, but one can get quite a long way with it.
That struck me as odd do not US phone companies secure their sensitive customers information. When I worked at BT they took this very seriously and say looking up the queens unlisted telephone number you would get into serious trouble.

On the other hand, my comment ranks (by votes) among the top 0.3% I've written on the site, while yours has been voted down so far after 13 hours that it's hard to read (I didn't downvote you). We're both software developers, we've both been in the industry for comparably long periods of time, but it feels like maybe one of us is saying something that better resonates with our peers.

It'd be interesting to see if, having pointed this out, the voting spread changes. I'd like a truer accounting, if there's one to be had!

I'm glad you've shown your lack of knowledge here, VAT on digital services has some complexity, but overall taxation in the EU is simpler than what a lot of other countries require.
> I take issue with being held to a standard of somehow needing to "know" that ahead of time

I agree that this would be an unreasonable standard. But I've yet to see that standard being applied to anyone (And I run in circles where I'm exposed to quite a bit of very outspoken trans/nonbinary rhetoric).

What I see, time and time again, is people who explicitly refuse to call someone by their preferred pronoun, whether it's on the grounds of pure petulance ("You can't make me!"), or of some biological essentialism ("HE, because Y chromosome").

So unless you have any examples of people being attacked for a single, innocent mistake, I'm inclined to see this as a strawman (straw-person?) argument.
Someone clearly needs to be punished. Several someones. I'd let this intrepid and talented 15 year old go, and let the US (and whoever else concerned) prosecute the living crap out of all those in public positions of trust and clearly not up to it.

Suggest starting from the top. A head of CIA with classified material stored on his computer in such a way that access is dependent on some external internet provider? Under the always ressourceful American penal system, that sounds to me like any number of centuries on the inside looking out.

Basically it defers to a javascript function instead of using the web's normal way of linking. An example of such a link would be:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="dostuff()">Click me</a>

href="javascript:void(0)" basically tells the browser to do nothing when a link is clicked. It's like returning false from an event listener.

onclick="dostuff()" will then listen for clicks and call the `dostuff` function to update the page or load a new one.

Nowadays it's considered bad practice and to be honest it wasn't exactly good practice in those days but it was very commonly used.
We tried out Slack recently. I was reticent to replace our existing XMPP server with an external service for security reasons. When I started the Electron-based desktop app, it tried to connect to lots of third-party services. That was enough to scare me away: https://twitter.com/mcculley/status/941728005617078272
I don't know how it happens but Peterson seems to always be engaged by the most logically challenged and intellectually dishonest individuals society has to offer. The recent channel 4 interview is the prime example of this. Now maybe it was all for show but the interviewer was utterly incapable of stringing even a few ideas together and at one point in the interview her mind visibly began to short circuit attempting to do so.

There was a hard ceiling for action cameras. People still buy them but, to some degree, they were a fad item. A lot of people realize that they don't actually base jump and after the fifth movie you've shot of an intermediate ski run it gets kind of boring. They could have designed better interfaces and the like but I'd argue there's still an upper limit.

They did have a great brand though and could probably have expanded that beyond cameras to other outdoor-oriented electronics. Of course, there's a lot of competition but there is everywhere.
Any projects with public code you have that i can look into, assuming you are talking about clash? I would appreciate it.
He didn't explain that point so well, but I grokked what he was getting at (I think). I don't think she was smart enough to understand it, or see beyond it, so thus the gross simplification. That's my impression of her - less conscious dishonestly as opposed to just not smart enough. Then again, most people have an IQ under 120, and 120 is not that impressive either

I would have said that humans are little more than talking primates, and so our societies (West and East) are organized according to how primates organize themselves - e.g. hierarchies. We're more sophisticated than chimpanzees, but not by much. Once you understand this idea, then all the stupidity humans get up to is understandable.

It seems like slowly but surely the industry is realizing the incredible productivity penalty of microservices/fas etc, and just generally any model compared to your good old ORM in a monolithic codebase approach.

I still feel like we are way ahead with the concepts in (shameless plug alert) https://github.com/1backend/1backend when it comes to the big picture of building microservices that actually build on each other, although it's statistically very likely this is just a personal opinion :)).

Anyway, I'm generally happy that this space is advancing, as someone who spent most of his recent career in this space I almost gave up hope: simply there was not even a common vocabulary to properly discuss ideas, everybody just wanted microservices because that was the next cool thing, and looked absolutely perplexed when explained the pitfalls.

GraphQL, this, and all the different kind of faas platforms popping up nowadays all help as a point of reference.

I truly think we are on the verge of radically changing how we build applications soon - I think these technologies can be viewed as a new breed of web frameworks, a breed which has the distributed principles in its core.

Can webassembly push output to JavaScript?
Say I have a program that is running in webassembly in my browser and I want to take input that the user puts in that program and have it output to other parts of my program. For example, say I want to make a really graphically fancy input box in unity (not that this would ever be practical but just as an example) - can unity take this input that I type in the input box and then output it through webassembly? I could see this as being very cool for custom components, but all the webassembly demos I've seen only take data in to the compiled program (a la flash player or similar).

Thanks!

PS I've asked on SO too, but this is a more open ended question that I think would move we'll with the community here. General webassembly discussion for n00bs also is cool!

> Absolute absolute majority of children in poverty and without access to education are born outside the USA.

That's a fact. Just that doesn't mean that the USA would do better now or in the future with more poor people giving birth to more disadvantaged children inside its own borders. Also, I wasn't explicitly limiting my argument to the United States on purpose.

> You solve nothing other than being explicitly mean to (I assume) your compatriots.

[I'm not American.] All I'm advocating is a realistic and pragmatic approach to demographic management. The goal should be to ameliorate life for any given compatriot in the long run. Though of course in the long run, the population of the present will be dead.
What does the root password have to do with anything? Linux-on-the-desktop-types have been dropping this line for years. What does a user want to protect on their computer? Ask a Unix sysadmin and you'll get answers like "the integrity of /sbin, /lib, and /etc". Ask a human and you'll get an answer like "my email and personal information". The humans are right: that's what the targeted attackers are after (as you'll see if you read this report, where the programs that get installed don't even try to privilege escalate).

First Year of Donald Trump’s Presidency
I don't know about contributing to their downfall. But GoPro with all their videos and so forth definitely create this aspirational branding that a lot of people like to see themselves being associated with.

Then they shoot a few videos skiing down an intermediate ski slope and realize this is all pretty boring and they don't kayak off waterfalls or jump off cliffs themselves.

Personally, I feel the same way about drones. Every time I think about getting a good one I realize I'd shoot some videos around my house and then... I dunno. Maybe I'd take it out somewhere but really they're sort obnoxious so probably it would sit on the shelf.

Too late. The Web is well on the way to becoming the next operating system. Very soon the local OS will mostly just open web frameworks like Electron to run nearly all our apps. This way has clear benefits for s/w developers and corps. Just like there are only 3 mainstream OS vendors, there'll only be 3-4 mainstream browsers in the future. There won't be another Linus for OSes and there won't be another Mozilla for browsers. The slope has become too steep. At least not for PC and general purpose computing devices.

For dealing with people learning psychology helps, you'll see people differently and eventually accept irrational behavior as a norm and won't care as much. For production systems designing for failure and learning how to do it also makes failures mundane, you'll start expecting them to happen all the time, even inducing them on purpose, and won't care.

Examine amazon. I deliver them. Im in a union. I've had a $100+k prosthetic at <$4k out of pocket. Pooled healthcare. Savings is matched and now i have $100k waiting and i did nothing. I have safe conditions to deliver.
I get paid if im sick. I have a predictable schedule

Now, if i downloaded the Amazon app and became a delivery dude i would still deliver Amazon. No insurance
No savings. Use of my own car. I could do this for amazon for 5 years and i would have nothing.

The union already blazed the way for my salary and benefit package.. So i simply benefited from it.

We were looking at an architecture exactly like this (GraphQL front end, backed by gRPC microservices), because we liked the strongly typed interfaces of gRPC, and the flexibility of GraphQL, but we ran into some technology issues (http/2 support in our PaaS) that made it a non-starter.

We found that we could get the same benefits (minus the performance of gRPC) by just using GraphQL for all of our microservices, and dynamically stitching them together with Apollo’s graphql-tools[1].

We’re really high on the approach because it lets us develop independent services, each with a strongly typed interface, and then mix and match them into a single GraphQL interface on the fly.

It’s been gaining a lot of traction internally at my company. We even put together a “create-react-app” for GraphQL so our teams can easily spin up new services.

An algorithm also solves the same problem. But that doesn't really matter. The point it: It is the same problem, there are many attributes, many choices beyond syntactic choice that affect the comprehension to people unfamiliar to your code.

Many of them opinionated and arbitrary, but it's easy to draw the line based on your own experience and unwittingly cast out people with more or less knowledge than yourself as being more obscure or more common.
