I don't understand why you're getting down voted, but this is absolutely correct and more specification is needed when it comes to "front-end".

I come from a traditional front-end background (for web) and I send many front-end jobs for my company RemoteLeads as well. Front-end is the most fragmented programming job category and I'm sure it's the one that gets the most applicants.

Companies will say they're looking for a front-end developer with JavaScript experience. In reality, they need an engineer. They need someone who understands Computer Science principles and can express that in JavaScript. But, because "JavaScript experience" can mean anything they'll get a lot of applications from Front-end Designers who are more on the HTML / CSS end of the spectrum.

And now with things like React Native it's getting even more complicated.

Ultimately, it's because knowing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript makes you such a powerful developer and you can do a lot.

To combat this the title has to be more specific. What do you need accomplished? Engineering? Design? It's not just front-end, be more specific.

Jerry Low put it best in his article titled The Death of Front-end Developers (https://medium.com/@jerrylowm/the-death-of-front-end-develop...)
Central planning has always proven to be an inefficient way to allocate resources, so I’m not sure why free markets would be worried about China implementing more central planning.
Yes.

Seems like China is the first country who got the means for centralization.

They got the ideology and the tech to manage it on that scale.

Also they're too big to get attacked.

There seems to be a broader negativity directed at Tesla for some reason, going all the way back (which SpaceX is mostly immune to, despite similarly wildly missing goals; you'd think Tesla's mission would be perhaps even more admirable). I recall a lot of comments claiming Tesla would never produce the Model S at scale, because they got off to a poor start manufacturing it as well.

I don't think I'm being hyperbolic at all. These responses are what I've observed in every thread going back two quarters roughly or more now. The paragraph of negative examples I gave is filled from actual examples I've read on here recently.

The last time I pointed out in a thread - a week or two ago - that Tesla was tracking to hit 100,000+ Model 3s for 2018, I was mocked without an actual substance reply (just open insult style mockery). And that's just a simple obvious point about their production, the odds are high they'll hit that mark. So where does all of the emotionalism come from to spur such behavior? I find it incredible a car company spurs such a volatile reaction.

I have both a recent iPad and a Dell 2-1. For "consumption" I find my iPad far more usable. The 4/3 screen is preferable to the 16:9 screen on my laptop and of course it's a lot lighter. The battery life of my iPad is amazing.

For the occasional typing, I use my same mini Bluetooth keyboard for my computer and my iPad.

I had an original iPad bought in mid 2011 but it didn't get much use - it was no more than a "big iPhone".

But a lot changed since then.

- Cellular connectivity is a lot cheaper. I pay $20 a month for unlimited data with T-Mobile.

- I got rid of cable and use Netflix/Hulu/DirecTv and Plex.

- PluralSight is available and I use that for watching technical videos.

- The screen resolution is a lot better for ebooks.
- better productivity software from Apple, Microsoft and Google.

- iOS has made iPad specific improvements - split screen, picture in picture, and drag and drop.

China has been and will continue to be authoritarian. Thier interests in tech is control. They need to control information. As a secondary objective, they want to see China's tech market expand so they can become more than the West's supplier of cheap labor-intensive goods.

Brain drain is a concern, but the world's most populous country will always be a target, especially as the new rich enjoy sending thier kids to get Western educations.

Something that should be apparently to is with the recent political events in the US is that when you control the media, you can control the narrative and to some extent the culture. Cons had far more control over this than any faction in America. Much of the early education is geared towards civil responsibility.

We also know that China isn't above flexing it's authoritarian muscle. Gifted students in math and science are often shanghaied (heh) into schools designed to feed thier own tech sector and PLA Unit 61398

Or they just don't do business in the EU. Lots of US businesses (and, for that matter Chinese, Japanese, etc.) just do business in their home countries. To the degree the EU makes it too difficult for certain types of businesses to operate there, they won't. It's a big market but it's not that big. If businesses can pull out of China because they can't reasonably operate there, they can pull out of Europe.
It seems no such problem has been reported

Oh, please. This has been a flamewar since the 80's. Every angle you can think of has been tried before. The real question is why are we still using plain text.

Ask HN: GDPR compliance for a systems-oriented SaaS
I have a SaaS product that does not deal with personal data, it's a systems monitoring service. However there are a few types of potentially personal data it has to collect:

* user email addresses (for signing in, and for password reset links)

* optionally, billing address

* it uses a third party service for recurring payments (Braintree). My service does not store users' credit card details but Braintree of course has to

The service does not use any analytics scripts. It currently only has generic Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents, generated online by answering yes/no questions and paying $20 or so for each.

For a SaaS service like mine, what are the minimum required things to be GDPR compliant? Are there walkthroughs, templates or recommended services for preparing GDPR-related documentation?

I'm sure many SaaS tools / services are in similar situation as mine, and I'm sure many have already figured this out. Looking for friendly advice!
It seems tech companies in the US could definitely benefit from increased oversight on operations and stronger compliance with privacy laws, not only that but the establishment of integration with state-owned firms could boost domestic consumption of tech services that don't revolve around ad and social media consumption.
Comparison

Baidu - Google

Baidu is horrid, even in Chinese. Baidu doesn't have nearly as big stronghold on advertising in Chinese market as Google has in every market outside of China. End of discussion.

Alibaba - Amazon

On commercial side, Alibaba steamrolls Amazon with some margin remaining. Tech-wise, Alibaba sucks big time. Their search algo is something horrid. Alibaba has a relatively big part of Internet ads pie in comparison to Amazon.

They need more competent tech people, or better to say let more competent people to lead, and less talking big. I personally knew the person who nearly single-handedly created half of all business Alibaba group has outside of China, yet he did quit the company because he was denied promotion and never given recognition for his efforts. Moreover, his superiors were intentionally keeping quiet of his existence and appropriating credit for his work.

Tencent - Facebook

Company-wise Tencent is way better on focus and management quality. People there are very well conscious what the company needs and for what. They don't have much random RnD initiatives or "see what sticks to the wall" internal startups.

Their money cow are their horrid mobile games, and WeChat wallet.

While they are unquestionably a social network company, they are almost invisible as such. WeChat team prides themselves on their "Zero popups" experience.

Their idea is plain - solidly done, undisturbed by ads social side of the ecosystem must be kept as such so that users will have less impediment to use value added services from the commercial side of the ecosystem when they want to. This is what FB can't do.

First, I have to say I love the redesigned paper. It's extremely intuitive and easy to read even for people with very little background. In text form I imagine it would be accessible to ten times fewer people at least.

I don't think all papers should be done this way, but it would be fantastic if more were. Pop-science explanations of papers are almost always too simplistic and almost nobody's going to read plain study texts unless they have to.

How to explain (somewhat) difficult concepts and ideas has been a sort of hobby of mine for a while, everything from contributing to simple.wikipedia to Reddit comments explaining new studies.

I'm actually thinking of starting a website to create "comic-style" (as the author calls them) explanations of important papers and ideas in science. Would anyone here be interested in writing or explaining papers or ideas? My email's in my profile. Even just doing a bit of illustration or writing would help.

I'm also trying to figure out papers and ideas that are important. I'd like to also include some important things that aren't well explained on the internet already, or are only well known within a specific field. Anyone have any suggestions?

"A whole lot of developers adopt static type checking for mostly subjective reasons or band wagon emotions. Some sell out completely to Typescript and the Microsoft way of doing things while others take on a slower approach with Flow. One thing is for sure, most developers don't need types, they are simply complicating already complex problems and solutions. Like most things, most of this trend is subjective dogma not objective value."

Wow, biased much. I love JavaScript and ES6. But anything that I work with a team on or expect to live beyond a month or so, I love types for. Making a large refactor without types is the wild west. Types help provide structure/understanding about the data flowing through your system. And if you need to eject you can with Any. I used to prefer pure JS (or Python), certainly quicker to prototype, but also more difficult to grow and maintain. Tradeoffs in both directions. Such an amateur statement makes me question the rest of the document.

> You're just saying that abstract nouns have no explicit referent like a brick or apple.

I think smallnamespace has the right idea but maybe chose some week analogies in his examples, you've also picked the the most well defined one (although it's popularly contorted into many things it's original definition is actually quite strict).

Here's a better analogy, actually it's not really even an analogy, just a generalisation that countless people have attempted and failed to define and quantify throughout history: Intelligence, (define it), scientists can't, and IQ doesn't cut it. We can quantify some specific easily measurable abilities but there are many others we can't, seemingly vague things like intuition that are vital ingredients to the umbrella of "intelligence" are just do difficult to nail down individually let alone in concert. Likewise you can measure different aspects of developers, implement this generic algorithm, define the complexity of this code in big O notation, they can sometimes be indicators like IQ but none of them really point to actual brilliance, that can only be measured on the job.

Some will argue against me here but I don't think these types of things can be measured (except externally by overall results when applied), because in order to measure we need something to compare to, but everyones own bag of tricks is nuanced and intricately different to everyone elses in subtle ways... if we all thought exactly the same way but to different "abilities" then everyone would be making the same insights but at different speeds and efforts, that's not what people do, people just think in their own way and the more unique that is the more "clever" they can appear.

Where this analogy breaks down (or does not share with) is that programming is not all about being clever and unique (although that will of course differentiate you), it's also a craft that it's possible to be good at without being particularly unique... it's quite possible to have one and not the other, you could come up with original solutions to problems but be terrible at architecting and implementing it.
How would they benefit?
>Seems like China is the first country who got the means for centralization.

No, the previous grand experiment with this ended in 74 years of fail, with small upswings during NEP era, Khrushev and right before the fall.
That still doesn't explain the extreme negative emotional reaction.

Amazon passed Walmart in valuation while having 1/4 the sales and none of the profit. Twitter is worth six times what the NY Times is. Netflix has half the income of CBS and is worth six or seven times more. And so on. That kind of valuation discrepency isn't particularly unusual when there's a bet being placed on a more distant outcome related to growth.

> Tesla passed Ford in valuation while selling fewer EVs.

Ford isn't selling more EVs than Tesla; Ford is selling hybrids that burn fossil fuels, their strict-EV business is an embarrassment. Ford is also still selling millions of fossil fuel-only burning vehicles annually. Surely it's curious that that warrants less criticism than Tesla's lagging ramp on Model 3 production.

Lots of car companies flounder. GM went bankrupt. It's extremely difficult to compete in the auto industry, it's extremely capital intensive; which is why North America and Europe have seen very few new successful car companies in the last ~40 years. The US hadn't seen a new public car company since 1956.

What makes Tesla especially deserving of the extreme negativity?

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to criticize Mercedes or Ford for not producing a million plus electric cars already? Aren't all the other automakers overwhelmingly failing the environment and the general well-being of their customers by having dragged their feet for decades on this? Those companies are putting out about ~88 million (!) fossil fuel cars & light vehicles per year. I find it difficult to understand how the context makes sense.
I think most of the ergonomics issues can be addressed by improving the tooling without needing to pollute the language. An IDE could provide snippets and autocomplete for common patterns.

Are you talking about the Promotheus engine?

Everything I've read about Arianespace's plans indicate that they aren't terribly interested in reusability. Ariane 6, which is slated for first launch until at least 2020, will be initially expendable. The mentions of Adeline or using Promotheus on Ariane6 seem to be only speculative at this point. Given that they will only maybe start working on reuse after the expendable Ariane6 is launching, they seem to be more than a few years behind. More like a decade.

I agree with your priorities, but I want to stress that don't think there's any reason to believe the people working on the language are confused about this. The ergonomics initiative has explicitly been about making certain things easier without introducing ambiguity or jeopardizing the safety guarantees Rust offers.

Like the OP says, the article is misguided, and if it has any effect, it will create FUD in people who have not followed the ergonomics proposals enough to know better.

Types are not the only game in town, schema style solutions (like Clojure(Script)'s spec) have many things over static type systems.
Imagine what effects could cascade throughout society if the slope of the learning curve to master a paper was reduced just a tiny amount. Sure, regular everyday people might not be directly affected by it. But what it would mean is more researchers understanding more papers at a deeper level, and faster since the effort per unit of time invested will have been significantly reduced. It's true that websites have a expiration date. But this is one of those low-hanging fruits where the technology is perfectly mature and the problem is obvious. And the combination of the two could produce massive productivity gains, with relatively little effort, if you just made what Bret is suggesting an habitual norm within academia.

Let's not forget that that previous grand experiment certainly did not look like a failure for 20-30, some say 50 years. Even after that there was a never-ending chorus of people proclaiming it's success. And yes, that was because they were of a particular political bent, but still ... Some still haven't gone silent.

Unless of course, you were one of it's subjects living within it's borders. Then there was no doubt. Even now, very few Russians outside of Russia are socialists. Given that most of them would only have experienced Soviet Russia as small children or through stories of family members, that's quite an accomplishment.

Most Chinese outside of China seem to be, one terrified of their opinion becoming known. Two terrified of returning to China without the option to leave again (in fact quite a few seem to have changed opinion in the last few years. They seem to think that traveling there at all could result in never returning). Three they seem to be terrified of having their money anywhere near or otherwise dependent on China.
