I think Flexbox already removed the need for a CSS framework. Kind of the same situation as when improved DOM APIs (and browser compatibility) removed the need for jQuery.
> Who Killed the Junior Developer?

The educational system.

I've seen horrible things happening to production code due to junior developers. In the end the senior/lead needs to spend way more time fixing all bad code/ideas than if he'd write it himself in the first place. I know a company that has a medior dev that is now already more than 2 months working on a feature I can write in just 2 weeks. Besides that, my code will likely still be better because I code with experience, using proven strategies, making it more scalable, preventing pitfalls, potential bugs, etc..

I don't think the companies are to blame. A junior dev should not write rubbish if he/she is a software developer graduate. Current IT education is very limited. Most of the things you learn in 5 years can be interesting and a good foundation, but not really relevant for most developer jobs out there. You actually have to start learning to code once done with your study. And learning to code is not a short journey, I guess at least some 3 years of full time study before you'll get the hang of it. And I didn't even touch the idea that you definitely need some talent or feel for it. You can study arts, but that alone won't make you an artist.

I wonder how many "jobs" depend on the complexity of the byzantine US tax system.
Paid support tbh. It can create perverse incentives, but having an option is better than no option.
You said it better than I did, but I meant the same thing. I work on three+ projects at any given time in order to give myself room to do something small on each one of them every day. When I get stuck on one thing, I execute a context switch to another project and stay productive there until I hit a wall or need to think about some problem. Rinse, repeat. This yields remarkable productivity and leaves boredom in the rearview mirror.
How Jason Kottke is thinking about kottke.org at 20
my home/room is now collapsed into the searches for Detroit. I am in Dearborn Mi, this would be like collapsing Brooklyn into Manhattan.

I have no idea whether or not this is true in a sociological sense. In terms of geography, going from Park Slope in Brooklyn to the World Trade Center in Manhattan crosses a body of water and involves a tunnel. It only takes 16 minutes, however. The Google Maps trip from Dearborn to Detroit shows a time of about 20 minutes, and doesn't cross any geographical boundary.

I have no idea if people who are going to an event in Detroit might decide to stay in Dearborn.
I work for a state government agency with a big software problem that has a hard time hiring for this reason. We've got some talented devs only due to the fact that they enjoy living in the area, not because they enjoy getting half(or less!) what they'd make in the private sector.
This is the appropriate emotional response. Kudos to you. Thanks for not being a tool. I would say, though, that the reason it's a "pretentious wanker" move isn't because they work remotely but instead choose to work silently in a public space not designed for it, essentially for free. Paying for coffee, pastry, whatever and using the place as an office is not providing the appropriate monetary remuneration to the business for having an office space.
I think it was the failed merger with STB. They should have kept with the nVidia route of making chips for other companies instead of trying to integrate the entire pipeline like ATI.

Did you manually convert the assembler, or automate it ? With regard to manual conversions, I'm with you 100% - no thanks. :-)

But, my understanding is that the bulk of the work done in this case was done by a conversion tool that was designed and developed by a group of 8 people led by the gentleman referred to in the article (Jian Wang). The conversion tool project was the work that I was referring to in my comment.

monopolies are not good for the little guy. In Europe there's a sufficiently good market for listing on other websites, booking.com, holidayvillas and own websites, so you'd see a drop but not as significant. Is there a way to reach out to all your past tenants and advertise that you're renting out on offer (say -30%), not via Airbnb?
It's quite simple actually: just make very long names for everything, instead of very short ones.
I bet what OP is seeing is in response to that. Detroit is likely a much more common search, so to keep that populated, they just collapsed all of Dearborn into it.

UI elements still need styling and normalizing. Grid is just one of many UI components in Bootstrap and similar frameworks. I imagine Bootstrap will put a layer of CSS class abstractions on top of CSS Grid to make it easier to work with, just as they did with flexbox.

The strangest phenomenon I have encountered when using Flexbox and Grid in CSS is a nagging sense of guilt. Through two decades of web development, my brain has so absorbed the idea that easy CSS layout is only possible through non-standard, browser-specific CSS or "wrong" things like table-based layout that it just won't accept that it's no longer the case. It's like when you leave school, but for years you still have dreams you're late for class.
The NYT shows an ever more feeble understanding of brand and reputation in this age - Quinn's writing and public commentary really shouldn't come as a surprise to them, any more than going to a talk by Brenda Laurel and having her call out questions with 'Yo' and shoot down bad questions with 'That's a stupid * question' - I don't always agree with her, but I have always seen her as authentic (both of those fine women, actually)
Yeah, sounds like a cool project!
the fact that typing is difficult for people who never grew up with a computer keyboard

This is something I had not really considered in regards to "digital assistants". I abhor them with a passion but can understand their usefulness and desirability in this perspective.
We use it for an embedded DSL to describe business logic quite successfully. Easily extendable via categories and embeds naturally in a larger JVM application.

It's more a case of too many laptop users in a space, transform what was meant to be a social space into a work space.

It changes the vibe and the mood.
The secret weapon to my last few moves has been airbnb. Book 30 to 45 days somewhere central to the areas you'd like to live, or in a neighborhood you want a feel for.

You get a block-by-block feel for the locale really quickly, that you could never get online. 30+ days is enough time that you can do multiple application cycles for properties and not have to worry about settling in the first batch or being homeless.

It costs a bit of a premium in a major city, but i find the insight and optionality to be more than worth it.

Also, make sure you consider your relo package in terms of post-tax income. If your movers cost 2k and you get 2k in relo, taxes are going to chop that in half and you'll lose money. This is a mistake you only make once :)
Have you got already got a fabric sample? How do the material properties of HDPE knitted fabric compare to nylon?
I think the first and last point are fairly straight forward, but I'm still a typing believer. I don't think that natural language or other interaction will replace the written word.

Typing is faster than speaking and less disruptive. I can't really imagine how everybody on a train in Delhi is going to talk to their digital assistants without a noise proof helmet on their head. (or going crazy)

Also we've found many ways to condense information in written form. I can write "IIRC" but it's hugely uncomfortable to speak this way. You can't use smilies or emojis either when talking. In a way natural language is much less feature rich.

Take your camera, set the shutter to 2 seconds on a tripod. After 1s, spin the camera. If you setup exposure correctly, you'll end up with a photograph with a sharp subject from the first 2s, and an ephemeral blur from the movement from the second second of the single photo. By your definition that's a photography, but doing anything in post production isn't 'photography'.

The point is that photography in general is an art that the artist (photographer) massively controls, the photographers vision of the moment. Whether you do it fully in camera or in post production is somewhat irrelevant as it's the same thing.

Restrictions on how that photograph is used should be clear though (no compositing in journalistic photography as an example).
Manually, sure, but it sounds like the idea is/was to use an automated approach. I imagine many of the same techniques used by modern decompilers could be applied, and there's probably lots of information in assembly that is lost in machine code (e.g., JE vs JZ on x86). One could also assume some knowledge of the coding conventions used by the organization. Even a tool that could translate 90% automatically, leaving the rest to be done manually, would work out pretty well.

In some ways it reminds me of the project to programatically translate the golang compiler from C to Go. Though I imagine the codebase is quite a bit messier!
Thanks, I suspected that this was the case after I read the Cringely book on IBM (https://www.amazon.com/Decline-Fall-IBM-American-Icon-ebook/...). It gives one the distinct impression that connections matter a lot, and that getting the contract matters more than actually completing it successfully.
That's great. I like to say I'm a "master carpenter" for the same reason.
No, what you're missing is positive sum interactions are transformative. I want gasoline for my car even if the raw oil it comes from contains more energy that oil is less useful.

Gold sitting in a vault stays gold sitting in a vault the outputs are identical in form and lower in amount.

PS: A bank safety deposit box costs ~60$ a year store 1,000$ worth of gold for 20 years and you lost money unless it's worth more than twice as much inflation adjusted. Store 1,000,000$ worth of gold costs more than 60$ / month, but not 1000x more so it's not as pointless.

I wish they would consider GiveWell, which has applied.

GW is in the business of evaluating the effectiveness of charitable giving to maximize impact. If you have a bunch of money to give away, it's probably tempting to think you can outperform the impact of professionals, just as if you suddenly have a bunch of money to invest, you might assume at first you can outperform professional investors.

Sadly the feedback isn't quite as pronounced in charitable giving. It can feel rewarding giving to an organization that makes a smaller impact than its rivals, so long as it has great promotional materials and you don't ask too many questions.

> Hiring Jrs btw is its own skill as you are filtering for potential not skill or knowledge. Identifying the person who is passionate about learning, has dedication to the craft and pride in their work

I think this is so true of software development roles, but doesn't it actually apply to every hire? unless you have a _very_ specific role with explicit skill set, senior roles need to be just as flexible and able to learn new things quickly.

It sounds like the product is already a proxy (Websocket -> XMPP) so I'm not sure what exactly they're deploying multiple times per day.

It also seems like they could have done simple blue/green and extend their websocket protocol and client to support a hand-off "hey, there's a new version of the proxy, reconnect in x seconds" message (and have idempotency of messages) such that they could have a rather smooth schedule where everyone can reconnect then disconnect gradually over some period of minutes instead of hours and not have either sudden spikes or any period of interruption for clients.

Please, for a better comparative, view it with the 5 years window for the graphs.
When viewed separately from an emotional and rational point of view, IMHO this tension can be resolved:

- as a rational being, you should protect yourself against threats. So it is perfectly fine to fight your enemies. Important: their motivation doesn't matter in this perspective, you just defend yourself against a threat.

- from an emotional perspective, hate and good/evil dichotomy just poisons your perception. There is nothing positive about hating (except maybe that it gives you more fighting motivation).

Interestingly, by really empathizing with your enemies (e.g., understanding deeply why someone seeks power and financial gain), you usually come up with much better defense and protection strategies compared to just viewing them as evil and immoral.

Loving someone does not mean you always have to be nice to them.
> Tao of Programming 8.3

> There was once a programmer who wrote software for personal computers. "Look at how well off I am here," he said to a mainframe programmer who came to visit. "I have my own operating system and file storage device. I do not have to share my resources with anyone. The software is self-consistent and easy-to-use. Why do you not quit your present job and join me here?"

> The mainframe programmer then began to describe his system to his friend, saying, "The mainframe sits like an ancient Sage meditating in the midst of the Data Center. Its disk drives lie end-to- end like a great ocean of machinery. The software is as multifaceted as a diamond, and as convoluted as a primeval jungle. The programs, each unique, move through the system like a swift-flowing river. That is why I am happy where I am."

> The personal computer programmer, upon hearing this, fell silent. But the two programmers remained friends until the end of their days.

And I have heard cool things about mainframe assembly programs (at least on z/TPF). Like a system to do code upgrades without hardly any downtime by pausing the VM, doing brain surgery on it, then resuming it.
Great, the people late to the game, and are here just to get on facebook are the "future" yay.....
Your graph shows a decline in production in the past year or so. The country has been experiencing major economical hardships for several years.
The downturn in oil prices only made worse something that was already awful.

Take a look at: https://tradingeconomics.com/venezuela/inflation-cpi

Of course 800% is worse than 100%.

But how do you explain 30%-100% inflation at a time when oil was at peak price?

It's simply impossible not to have inflation when you're printing money and flooding the economy with it -- no matter the supply side.

> Though I think you underestimate the mass effect on millions of americans from watching people peacefully walking down the street get beaten to a pulp by the police and gored by attack dogs while they ate their TV dinners. It was disgusting and iconoclastic to the ethos that the USA stood for freedom.

Half the country looked at that, and all they saw was a mob of _______ getting their just deserts. Why can't they shut up and go to work? What's their problem - it's not like slavery was still around.

Half the country supported the Kent state shootings.

Today, half the country opposes any protest against police violence. Sitting down? Unacceptable. Standing up? Unacceptable? March in the streets? Unacceptable. Speaking? Unacceptable. Staying silent? Also unacceptable. Perhaps a purely functional form of protest, with no observable side effects would be, but I've never heard of a successful one.

You can always find something or someone to condemn in a protest - and once you do, this justifies using violence to put it down. Collective punishment is still popular, especially when its collective punishment against a group speaking out about an uncomfortable topic.
Yes, manually. I missed that distinction, building the tool could be fun, but verifying it works would be a huge pain. Shouldn't be too hard to write test cases for tax code.

Yes we already have a number of prototypes out in the wild. Everything shown on our kickstarter is real product. They look and feel just like traditional pantyhose, which was actually a bit of a surprise to us too! They have some perks over traditional nylon knits as well, the PE fibers are natually cool to the touch and bacterial resistant, making them great for hosiery/intimates. The biggest challenge for us in getting the knit to work properly was stretch. PE fibers don't stretch, so we had to fiber out ways to knit/combine with other fibers, to create stretch, without compromising on strength.
Understanding where to put a bunch of class names is a lot easier than understanding CSS. Bootstrap isn't really about working around CSS, often it's about avoiding it. CSS Grids will likely just make Bootstrap easier to use, maintain and extend.

I personally stopped using Bootstrap years ago when I gained a good understanding of CSS. The most common features that Bootstrap provides (components and layouts) are not hard to implement yourself. And you'll avoid littering your markup with brittle combinations of class names and nested <div>s.

Hi there- Natalie with Sheerly Genius. Robber scene is so funny! Love that part too!
Rather than transcode assembly to a higher-level language. It's better to nail down all the functionality the assembly program provide and re-implement them in the higher-level language. Write language independent tests against the old code and re-run the tests against the new code to make sure things are working feature for feature and bug for bug.
Yes, I know that rationale.

But please! CSS was a web technology from the start. I routinely committed the deadly sin of table layouts from the mid nineties all the way up into the new millenium, because that was the only way to do it. It is utterly beyond me how CSS - glib explanations or not - could blithely ignore this very real need all through 1.0, 2.0, and well into 3.0.

But I must say, Grid was almost worth the twenty years wait, and it does bring on a sweet nostalgic rush once again having to shake a fist at various MS browsers.
So never ?
The more I study functional programming the more I see a mapping between structures (reduce/fold,...) and assembly. Assembly requires you to be very very careful, but if you're used to that you can encode these patterns in short ways. But it's a lost art nowadays.
