Your supposition seems correct to me, though I may well have misunderstood something. As for the focus on white noise, the history section in the scholarpedia article [0] suggests it's simply historical contingency.

You are right that jQuery is dying:

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

5 years ago, jQuery was twice as popular than it is today. But I wouldn't call it dead just yet. It's a work in progress.

By the way - one of the things that killed jQuery is HTML5, it's not only Vue and React for more advanced features, a lot of people used jQuery for basic DOM manipulation, which today you can probably get away with just fine with the HTML5 DOM API, since the addition of the querySelector APIs and things like CSS's classList APIs.
The company I work at uses jQuery for most DOM manipulation. I'm a backend developer and already knew it a bit so it's easier for me than using React for simple things. I don't do any frontend outside of work, so I've never gone past the React tutorial on my own time, and I suspect many mainly-backend developers have a similar story.

What you used jQuery for hasn't so much been replaced by React and what not, as it has by native Javascript. Most of the things you used to do through jQuery are done with regular Javascript (and DOM API's) just as easy nowadays - depending on your browser demographics, of course, but will be fine most of the time.
Absolutely! Different tools for different projects. If I'm building a 'real' webapp (as in, something with users logging in and lots of data dependencies) I'll use something like React, but if it's a small project... it's not at all worth setting up the infrastructure and maintaining it when a few lines of jQuery will do the job.

I’m thinking about continuing my education in US after a 6 years break from academia. I’m a bit anxious no one will want me, a 28 y/o guy with a degree from an unknown university. I also find myself leaning towards journalism and social studies, which doesn’t play nice with my CS degree.

Anyway, I wish you luck in any direction you end up taking.

Have you got numbers to support that? Because I think it's wrong.
At the point where someone has a 46-character password consisting of uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols that takes a week to memorize, I think it’s a fair guess that it’s random.

The average password isn’t random. But GP was not describing anything remotely close to an average password in the first place.

Turns out (according to GP) it isn’t random. But I stand by my point that it was a reasonable assumption given the available data.

Well said. I wonder however what makes these companies different from traditional information outlets like newspapers. They also compete for attention but they seem to maintain a more balanced view of the world. Is it because they don't have the possibility to individually target consumers?

Edit: What I did here was rubber duck problem reasoning. I realised this: Some tabloids are also quite extreme. They target a group of consumers. They offer a sensationalistic view of the world. The consumers put themselves in that group by buying the tabloid.

As an former owner of a 1972 1602S Beetle, these travesties were never "Beetles", they were just glorified Golfs. So no love lost here.
Yes, and I love it.

In hindsight I have been guilty of resume-padding and falling prey to hype by choosing to build on technology not appropriate to the problems at hand. And I find myself reverting back to basics, with bits of new tech sprinkled in.

My reversions:

- React, flux, redux ----> jQuery and intercoolerjs when needed
- Swarm, Kubernetes ----> Just plain old docker on single machine, scale vertically with cores and memory when needed
- Microservices first ----> Django Monolith first, then break out microservice when needed
- API Gateways (kong, Azure) ----> Nginx reverse proxy with hand-edited configs.

I can do this because I have chosen to work on niche problems and smaller markets. Scale is not my issue, even in very successful scenarios.

I see jQuery will have a place in my stack for some time to come. It just works (tm), and it plays well when I need to level-up with wither intercooler or yes -- backbone.

Another benefit is that it is a low barrier to entry for junior developers. It allows me to establish a baseline knowledge, and then mentor other things like workflow, code structure, and architectural things rather than chasing weird configuration things inside of webpack or the taskrunner-du-jour.

Would it, really?

The problem is that market forces are working against cheaper, smaller cars.

Does a company really want to run the gauntlet for producing a big production run and then having it flop? Especially if those sales might cannibalize purchases of their far more profitable cars?
This type of analysis will probably be a cornerstone in future health assessment. Since there are more cells and genes in the microbiome than in the human body, it seems reasonable that different compositions may have profound effects. Untangling this might take a while, meanwhile, changes in food production, environmental degradation and pollution are probably affecting microbial “landscapes” in detrimental ways. For now, options are limited to experimenting with diets, switching to organic alternatives, and the most radical method, temporarily change environment to isolate or eliminate the causes. All these more or less worked for me, the last one most effective, restoring a dysfunctional gut flora, however not permanently which speaks for environmental factors beyond diet.

The target demographic for the modern VW Beetle seems to be aging boomers and 30-something hipsters who want something small and economical but appealing to their sense of nostalgia. The emphasis for VW is on the nostalgia factor. The content on their US website attests to this: "The original original", "Shift into overjoy", and a product tie in with Fender guitars. The newer Beetles are basically baseline Golfs with a Beetle shape. Nothing exactly special about them compared to classic Bugs. All of the modern Beetles are front-engine, front-wheel-drive, with the latest having the requisite turbocharged 2.0 liter engine, like every other staid econobox these days.

>Instead of designing for offroad performance they’ve taken a road car and just added enough shoulder pads, fake pockets and redundant zips to puff it up to look like a small off-roader.

This is actually an extremely popular segment these days (see Audi Q1/Q3, Mercedes GLA, BMW X1, Mazda CX-3, Škoda Karoq, Peugeot 1008, Kia Stonic, etc. etc.) which apparently outsells the previously most popular "Golf" class of cars. By a lot.

People seem to like the higher sitting position and feel safer with more puffed up form of these cars. Even if they have significantly less space inside.
It's a bit more complex than this - since unlike a ground vehicle, many vehicles (especially those which are flying longer distances) can't just stop in their bounding box until the next one is free. And regardless of the vehicle type, none can wait indefinitely. Thus, you need confidence that the entire path - in 4D - is clear before setting out.

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't sure hence the question.

But my impression is that CS is slowly dying or becoming obsolete and there aren't major benefits over using something like ES6/TS etc. So choosing something like CS would raise a question whether the applicant knows how to choose technologies wisely (all in the context of working with other devs who probably don't know CS and also working on projects that need to grow and need to be maintained for years to come).

Bigger projects have moved away from CS:

Matterlist seems interesting. My problem with these kind of services always comes to two things:

- Pricing;
- Privacy;

I find it incredibly expensive to spend 5usd (and 10 on some) for essentially a to-do-list software. And you might tell me that it's the price of a coffee, but it really is not. A coffee, where I am from, is much cheaper, but more importantly, everything is subscription based nowadays. How come it is so expensive?

- Privacy: Is that E2EE? I suppose not. Does anyone know of such a project that has E2EE and is not from the US? (edit: apparently, matterlist is from estonia. Good)

Also, you state "Try our native apps now! It's free!". I would, but apparently it's "coming soon". There are no accounts and there is nothing to download yet. Is it even possible to use it right now?

The standard setup is a Linux desktop workstation - typically 6-8 core and 32-64gig ram depending on age (although there are some special set ups).

The required build tools and software for the internal engineering systems aren't usually available on a Mac so you'll need to have a Linux machine (physical or virtual) somewhere to remote into to do any dev work (again some teams are different but the bulk of engineers use the centralised Google infrastructure for source control, builds etc)

In addition to the desktop, every engineer gets a choice of laptop (Mac/windows/Chromebook) as well for email, meetings and cat videos.

Non-engineering just get a single laptop. Many many people now pick to use Chromebooks.

I'm not sure what to say beyond that i personally never felt the need for this. One of the IDEs i use does have several refactoring features, but the only one i ever used was the identifier rename and i probably used it around 2-3 times the last five years.

It is a useful feature when you need it, but personally it wouldn't affect my choice of tools at all. After all i could just load an IDE that has it in the rare case i need it and then continue using the other tool i prefer, it isn't like modern computers can only run a single program at a time or anything :-P.

And definitely follow through his "pause and ponder" sections. If you want to build up your maths skills, it is crucial to learn how to think in the maths way. Like becoming a good programmer involves writing lots of code yourself, or to become a good dancer you need to practice your steps.
For maths it's abstract thinking. Appreciation of maths is one thing, having the discipline to self-study a whole other.

Edit. Regarding your 2nd Edit: His videos are made for the broadest audience possible. I'd recommend picking any video whose topic interests you the most at the moment. You will see what knowledge you lack (take notes of these!) and can expand from there. Be it to watch his maths fundamental ((1)) series [0],[1] or just rewatch.

((1)): As in any other things, knowing your fundamentals is significant to the understanding of a topic. It won't help you at all if you can apply (copy paste) some machine learning techniques if you don't know about linear algebra at all.

Almost every older project I've worked on uses jQuery. Currently working on a large Rails app, some parts being 10 years old, and it's the same story. Old code is jQuery, new code is not.

It was spectacular 10 years ago, but now it's pretty much useless to me. Most everything either shouldn't be done in javascript or has a native replacement – at least with polyfills and Babel that I need for all development. I would love to remove it, but it would take far too long and provide little customer benefit (remove the library download), so it's only removed when something is refactored.

We had post-soviet physics class in school and it had ‘laboratory work’ — hours when you experiment yourself and report results to your teacher to discuss them later. What we learned from these hours is that in low-precision conditions errors can go as high as 70% and more. No single formula worked as intended, because everything in experiment was homemade, heterogeneous and roughly measured.

I have no clear conclusion for how this relates to your point though. Maybe modern education should include this as abc basics, not as high school revelations. Uneducated people are hard to convince, since they don’t know that reality is hard, while beliefs are easy.
That's what I believe too. Thing's are always harder to implement than you believe at first as a developer I know that. But even than the only explanation I can think of gmail's heaviness is not caring. In some ways it's even worse than a blog or news site which is often image heavy, required or not than can at least use up a lot of memory. Gmail on the other hand is not and it's something that is essentially meant to be opened for hours, gives a simple interface that suggests it would be light whereas taking up more memory than some bloated desktop client.

Amazing! Thank you! I'd not seen this before.
Strange, that's the metric I personally used around 2008. Haven't ran into a computer with less than 16GB for the last few years.
I'd start with this video to get an overview of all the topics and areas that mathematics entails (some might be unknown to you) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmJ-4B-mS-Y .
Then you go ahead and research a bit what sounds interesting to you and then you might google that topic and add "foundations" to that google search. It's just that most school/university math is heavily focused on analysis and algebra but there is so much more!
That seems way too abstract and advanced for a beginner. I can't imagine anyone starting that way.
Khan Academy is pretty good, though in my experience most of the videos focus on the way high-school courses are structured rather than teaching in a method that is the most intuitive (if you're planning to dedicate more time than an average high-school class timetable then it would make sense to learn in a more methodical way than the "scatter shot" that most high school curricula use).

Unfortunately a lot of the good "starting out" maths textbooks I know of are basically university level (though it should be noted that first-year of university mathematics is basically re-learning all of your previous mathematics knowledge but with new insights). While I wouldn't stop you from trying to read a university-level textbook, most of them are structured in a way that requires some familiarity with the topic before reading.
