Money would be better spent on a respectable certification like MCSE.
There is degree to the wrongness yes. But yes I am not saying the original hypothesis was not progress at the time (unlike Freud's non contributions) the left right hypothesis did contribute at the time as it actually looked at the brain and tried to map some things.

What I'm against is referencing this idea in a context (the article) where it makes no sense, and rather lies to the reader by telling a great story based on old facts that have since been disproven.

Left right brain is wrong, not really in the same way Newtonian physics is wrong today, at least not in the form it was cited about logic being in one hemisphere. I would compare it to say, Greek anatomy. They had the idea of that things in you could be wrong. But they didn't really know what was wrong in different diseases, they came up with lots of ideas of different bodily fluids having too much or too little of one , connected to certain organs.

Now we know most of their explanations were bullshit where we can explain things a lot better. Regarding Newtonian physics my impression is that they still explain the same phenomena they explained from the beginning, but we have refined things, and realized it can not explain all things one might have thought it could explain.
Given the current state of support Google itself offers, there is more than a bit of irony here.

I don't disagree at all. But I don't find this sufficient justification to engage in poor engineering practices.

DNS has a different set of use cases than HTTP so, while it can be made to work with enough effort (anything can), HTTP can never be as good at DNS as an actual protocol designed to do DNS can.
Wow ... this is really timely for me, in the context of contemporary movie reviews. I won't mention any specific ones so as to not taint the conversation, but I've found myself disagreeing with movie critics more and more these days. I will go see a movie and enjoy the hell out of it! only to come home and read/watch reviews where people are just lambasting the movie.

It just baffles me, that I could enjoy something so much ... when it's so "academically wrong". Makes me really question the value of said critical analysis.

This article caught me off guard, because the last one seemed to come from a place of knowledge. I thought a lot of how backspace worked was something that every programmer whose ever written a terminal program has experienced at least once. We faced this during a 300 level System Programming class while implementing a simple shell. Is this not something everyone with a CS background experiences? I guess you could miss it if you never go lower than javascript, or never try to do same line reprinting ie for text based progress bars

Might depend on the Judge. I have witnessed Judges ask "You understand what you are doing, this will never go away, etc". Genuine inquiry to make them comfortable that the defendant knows precisely what they are doing. But you are correct, there is also a scripted line of questioning.
Isn't there a famous movie scene where the murderer approaches a lawyer, who cuts him off and advises him on what a lawyer can do. (Anatomy of a Murder? Jimmy Stewart). He covers the issue of what the lawyer knows, and what he can do in each case. Pretty good writing.

Perhaps yes, maybe no. Consider another case: the next time you have a head cold, go to your doctor and demand to have your left arm amputated.

Or go to an engineer or architect and ask them to design something manifestly unsafe.

One of the differences between a profession and a customer service job is telling the client "no" if the client is asking for something inappropriate.
I like to refer to this list when looking for quality clothing. I've been slowly transitioning my wardrobe to a more lean BIFL high quality closet. It's specific to American brands. I do wish the list gave more details or why they were considered great but I own a lot of items from brands on the list (Redwings, Darn Tough, Pendleton, Alden, Duluth) and have found them all to be fantastic and typically with great lifetime warranties.

> Migrating from a desktop-based application to a web version? That desktop version was likely extremely responsive, and full page loads may feel like a step backward.

I'm working in this space of migrating existing desktop apps and what I've seen is that most of the SPA are so heavy that they end up feeling sluggish and that paradoxically server-side apps can feel more responsive and snappy to end-users.

Ironically it's easier to use YT as free advertising for your own content - and have YT pay you for it, even if the pay is a joke - than to rely on traditional ad revenue.

Maybe if YT wasn't so fixated on ad revenue it wouldn't be missing out on a huge potential market.

I grew up in a metropolis. I worked in San Francisco downtown. I hated it. I had to take the train for 40 minutes to work. The train didn't feel safe. I had to leave at a certain time everyday or I will miss the train back home. The city was chaotic and noisy. Couldn't find parking if you want to drive. If I had a choice, I'd pick the rural area. The success of a business requires intense focus. I'd prefer a quiet place to focus on the work.

I never understand why so many startups like San Francisco. I talked to some people, they seem to like the night life there. IMO, they are not sincere entrepreneurs.
I think SPAs get a bad reputation partially because they're trendy. Which means that inexperienced programmers flock to them and make them awful.

I recently re-wrote an SPA from a previous dev into a regular set of query/response web pages. The SPA was 2,143K. The new set is 78K. A big part of that savings was because javascript is verboten for this project due to client hardware constraints.

Yes, the previous dev was not the best in the world, but IME SPAs are always heavier than their response/query counterparts.
The global problem is not the stuff that is in a good enough condition for resale. It's the stuff that isn't and still ends up in the donation bins.

A lot of the languages I like don't work well on Windows. A world without Haskell isn't a world I want to live in.

Of course, you could always install Linux, and then things would be fine. I've tried it in the past and I've always run into annoying driver issues. I'm not the sort of person who wants to spend hours trying to figure out why my laptop won't go to sleep when I close the lid. It takes too much time away from playing with Haskell.
It is plenty proved. Nobody accepts BTC as payment for goods and nothing is priced in BTC.

> Bitcoin is a great prototype for something that people will actually want to use.

I agree so much with this. I tell this to everyone who will listen. Blockchain will be huge and Bitcoin was a pioneer. I think 10 years from now everyone will be using blockchain (either directly or indirectly) it just won't be through Bitcoin.

Relatively, it's still a very recent technology and still being developed. Just like when gold was first traded and suffered many huge highs & downs, these crypto assets are undergoing the same volatility of sentiments. Still, for the long term, 100% sure we will have fiat currency replaced by crypto currencies in one way or another.

I use Trello, Asana and Toggl, all single page apps (all fairly "trivial" in my book).

In all of them, every now and again something will go wrong.

Like yesterday, I was trying to replace a project on a task in Toggl and it kept reverting back. In Toggle if you click start stop too quickly, to create a bunch of tasks to add, it doesn't register it. Asana's just super slowwwwwwww. Trello has wildly inconsistent UI, some places saves on edit, some you need to click a save button.

And given these are all well funded apps with good dev teams, doing extremely simple apps, it shows just how hard it is to get SPA right and I don't really think the difference is shrinking much at all.

And I think this professionally too, a previous contractor turned part of the SaaS I'm working on at the moment into a SPA, and frankly, it's a nightmare (doesn't help it's durandal). They're so inflexible and so brittle.

That's SPAs for you, there's always something a bit wrong with them, they're extremely hard to get right, unlike traditional web apps. I often find myself rolling my eyes at YetAnotherPointlessSPA because there will always be something you have to fight with in it.
Then say "no", don't say "yes" and do whatever you want.
Corrupt entities which acquire donated clothes then sell them in bulk still want your clothes.

My high school friend's mom had a "business" where she would buy truckloads of used clothes, some donated to go to Eastern Europe, some "diverted" from Africa and she would resell them to smaller distributors, who would setup shops in local markets or just on street corners. Compared to other people I knew they were fairly "successful" based on revenue from that "business".

I am sure people in abject poverty could use clothes. The problem is that it's not the lack of clothes, it's corruption why they don't have access to them. Same goes for food as well.

One a different note, try going to a local thrift store in a nicer part of town, I had luck finding nice used clothes there.
I guess that first off, I'd caution you to question whether you truly need a seed round. Investors tend to respond best when you're referred to them by someone they trust. If this is a major hurdle, you might find yourself working with some highly inexperienced investors or ones with bad reputations. From experience, I can promise you that it's a hell of a lot easier to bootstrap than to deal with a problem investor.

That said, try asking the question in a different way. How would you find customers if you didn't know anyone? Ultimately, that's your goal - you're trying to sell equity in your company.

I've always had good luck meeting important people. I say 'good luck' because I'm not sure that my method is actually any good. This literally might just be luck! However, some tactics I've used (with success) include:

1.) Contacting everyone I have worked with/for in the past five years, arrange a coffee/beer and ask them for help. Former bosses have always been particularly helpful (for me).

2.) AVOID meetups like the plague. In my experience, meetups are the best way to fill my calendar with utterly useless meetings.

3.) Talk to former professors. This worked wonders for me, but I have a business degree. Business professors are interesting people. Generally not terribly successful in business, they're armed with massive credentials and remarkably strong networks. I'm not sure how well this advice works in other fields.

Data heavy pages with little or no interaction? Statically render it. Admin pages, terms of service, etc. Writing endpoints and serialization to move the data is a waste of time.

Sure, you might have to maintain two separate sets of minor components (header nav and such) but it's well worth it the lessen the development cost of non-impactive pages. Can also get away with loading HTML partials from the backend and throwing them into the dom whole - the perfect case for __dangerouslySetInnerHTML or whatever, then you can reuse your nav and such
At least in Vancouver, organizations like Big Brothers do clothing drives and then sell the clothes on to Value Village. This way a charity makes some money along the way. Check around and see what’s available in your area.
Yes, greater for security but still depends upon reliability of certificate authorities and ISPs. ISPs have the ability to issue the client a bogus certificate while they hold the real one in order to decrypt traffic. Why won't browsers allow the certificate's public key to be readable by javascript so that the remote server can verify the client has the correct certificate? This wouldn't be foolproof but it would significantly beef up security.

Similar to how tor hidden services get resolved, distributed hash tables seem like the way to go. Take the ISPs and Cert Authorities out of the equation.
>With some exceptions.

I would argue, with very few exceptions. The NYT is capable of some great journalism. Same with WSJ and a number of other outfits. That doesn't change the fact that their opinion articles share the same domain and letterhead in an intentional effort to confuse facts with truth to gain clicks.

To flip the argument around: Buzzfeed has some surprisingly good journalists working for it, including Pulitzer Prize winners. The only difference between Buzzfeed and NYT is that NYT is historically known for good journalism due to their long history of being a strong journalistic outfit, while Buzzfeed is known for trash tabloid nonsense and only recently had hired actual journalists.

If I gave you just a headline, could you tell me which company it's from?

>Investigators Are Scrutinizing Newly Uncovered Payments By The Russian Embassy

Surprise. That's the top article on Buzzfeed.com right now. Not even cherry-picked, that's number one, the very first headline.

>Is This the Golden Age of Drag? Yes. And No.

Again, very first headline, number one, most important thing on the page, not cherry-picked. That's nytimes.com. There's absolutely nothing wrong with either of these articles or either of these websites. I'm just highlighting the fact that you can't tell them apart. Because journalists now work for tabloids and clickbait-generators.

And tech journalism is owned by exclusives (which are paid for), access (which can be revoked if you write something bad), and advertisers (who will pull sponsorships to influence the news). If there are ads, there is no such thing as independent and unbiased news.
That is amazing! Can you tell us more about the experience?!

There is actually not a good reason to believe that humans - like most animals - are not born with a with a significant set of capabilities that they use through their lives into adulthood.

At the risk of sounding utterly foolish in the future, I would say that there will always be jobs for the creative developer. The one thing that has made Software Engineering stand out from other professions is just how SE is essential/Integrated in fields outside of its immediate application. What I mean is: devs are required in Oil and Gas, Academia, Education, Manufacturing etc. apart from the regular jobs in the Computer world (i.e. Software-only companies like MS, Google).

IT support will ALWAYS be required though. Unless we build some kind of AI that can diagnose issues like humans do... after which they will all become obsolete. But I don't see that happening in the next 50 years.

The author does have a point. Data immutability is nice and it does make your program safer. But that "guns" metaphor is cliché. One may also say that Erlang is more dangerous because it is not statically typed. I don't think crediting/discrediting a language based on simply one language feature is justified. (Actually, Erlang has mutable data too if you use mnesia, ets or the like, but you may just opt not to use them.)

In the article's chart, the author also classifies Go as one of the most dangerous languages. Now I'm a novice Elixir programmer and I don't know Go, but if Go were really so dangerous, I should have heard many horror stories about it (you see, Go is a vastly popular language, much more so than Erlang and Elixir combined). Yet, while you can find a significant number of articles criticising how primitive Go as a language is, those "shoot yourself in the foot" type of complaints are surprisingly few (especially if you compare the situation with C or C++). I think this tells us something about Go's safeness.

And he says that "To an Erlang programmer Haskell is an impractical language". I wonder how many Erlang programmers out there would be so snobbish. I have only dabbled with Haskell, but my impression is that Haskell is an unbelievably clean language (at least when compared to OCaml or Elixir), to a point that if I write a Haskell program, I would be very confident that what I've written is exactly what I intended in mind. How is that impractical?

If you really want to see some in-depth discussions about Erlang, I recommend the following two interviews:

1. Joe Armstrong and Simon Peyton Jones discuss Erlang and Haskell (https://www.infoq.com/interviews/armstrong-peyton-jones-erla...)

2. Ralph Johnson, Joe Armstrong on the State of OOP (https://www.infoq.com/interviews/johnson-armstrong-oop)
That was definitely true, and it was the reason that I personally stopped using qmail in a previous (very long time ago now) job.

There were patches to fix the problem, along with offering useful features, but for whatever reason we went with exim (exim 3.x from Debian).
This title (which most people appear to be responding to) is over-reaching click-bait bullshit, as one might expect. The piece itself is a much narrower and less excitingly relevant to the everyday consumer topic, could be called "The textile recycling industry is in trouble".
